This article describes the Brownian motion and thermophoresis aspects in nonlinear flow of micropolar nanoliquid. Stretching surface with linear velocity creates the flow. Energy expression is modeled subject to consideration of thermal radiation phenomenon. Effect of Newtonian heating is considered. The utilization of transformation procedure yields nonlinear differential systems which are computed through homotopic approach. The important features of several variables like material parameter, conjugate parameter, Prandtl number, Brownian motion parameter, radiation parameter, thermophoresis parameter and Lewis number on velocity, micro-rotation velocity, temperature, nano particles concentration, surface drag force and heat and mass transfer rates are discussed through graphs and tables. The presented analysis reveals that the heat and mass transfer rates are enhanced for higher values of radiation and Brownian motion parameters. Present computations are consistent with those of existing studies in limiting sense. (C) 2017 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
